Middle School Notes - Late Edition

Hello, Everyone!

Please excuse this tardy posting of our weekly Middle School Notes. I have been away at Camp Cosby with our 6th grade.

Here are a few photos of our trip.

Many thanks to Kay Kirtland and Ahna Baggett for putting together a memorable experience for our students, parents, and teachers. In addition to learning a great deal about science and the outdoors, we used the trip as an opportunity to grow closer to God and to build on our relationship with Jesus Christ. As the year continues, we will use our chapel services to continue this Spiritual development.

Here are just a few important announcements and reminders:

1. On Tuesday, November 18, all 7th, 8th, and 9th graders will attend
A Christmas Carol: The Musical at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. We will leave school at 8:45. Moms are providing the transportation. 7th graders will load in the carpool circle below Willett Hall, and 8th graders will load in the circle outside of the new gym lobby. The performance will conclude at 11:45. After the performance, all 7th and 8th graders will eat lunch at the food court at Eastdale Mall and will return to school around 1:20.

Chapel dress is required for this event. We also request that students do not bring cell phones to school that day so that the phones do not become a distraction inside the Shakespeare Festival.

We are looking forward to this event and know our students will behave in an appropriate manner.

2. Key Club invites MS/US students to wear a college t-shirt of their choice as well as any outerwear and shoes they wish on Friday, November 21. Each out-of-uniform item worn costs $1. Students must wear uniform pants/skirts. All proceeds will benefit Common Ground Ministries. Students who choose to participate in this semi-out-of-uniform day must come to the courtyard before 1st period on Friday morning to pay and receive a bracelet to designate that they may be out of uniform.

3. The Alabama National Guard will be providing free drug education in conjunction with our physical education program this week. This has been in place at Trinity for many years, but I would be remiss if I didn't publicly thank our Guardsmen for their tremendous effort in this important area.

Here are our tests for this week:

6th Grade

Thursday - Social Studies

7th Grade

Thursday - Keyboarding

8th Grade

Wednesday - Latin, U. S. Hisotry (Franklin)

Friday - U. S. History (McLemore)

Have a great week!
